What are the advantages and disadvantages of using aggregate in construction?

When used as a base for roads or buildings, aggregate adds structural stability and improved drainage. But this advance site preparation adds significantly to cost and time of the project.Adding aggregate to a composite material such as concrete or mortar can both lower the cost and raise the plasticity of the material. However, strength of these materials is lessened.


How do you design a ventilated improved pit-latrine?

Look at "The design of ventilated improved pit latrines" from Mara, D. Duncan ; UNDP ; Technical Advisory Group (TAG), by the World Bank. The document is available at http://www-wds.worldbank.org/external/default/main?pagePK=64193027&piPK=64187937&theSitePK=523679&menuPK=64187510&searchMenuPK=64187283&siteName=WDS&entityID=000178830_98101903445788 or http://www-wds.worldbank.org/external/default/WDSContentServer/WDSP/IB/2000/04/24/000178830_98101903445788/Rendered/PDF/multi0page.pdf If this doesn't work for you, try a hand grenade.


What is gatch road?

Gatch road, as seen in UAE and KSA desert areas is an improved sand road that has been lightly overlaid with a local limestone material called gatch. Teh result is a surface that is more resistant to blowing sand accumulation, and offers much better vehicle traction. Where a 4WD all-wheel vehicle is generally needed for sand track road travel, a gatch road can be passable with a 2WD vehicle. Gatch appears much like "caliche" as used in southern Texas roads.

What are CAD drawings?

CAD drawings are digital technical drawings created using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. These drawings represent architectural, engineering, and mechanical designs with precise dimensions, annotations, and details. CAD drawings are widely used in construction, manufacturing, and design industries to create 2D and 3D models of structures, components, and systems. Key Benefits of CAD Drawings: High Precision – Ensures accurate measurements and design consistency. Easy Modifications – Allows quick edits and revisions without redrawing everything manually. Enhanced Collaboration – Enables multiple professionals to work on the same project digitally. Improved Visualization – Supports 3D modeling for better design interpretation. Time and Cost Efficiency – Reduces errors and speeds up the drafting process. Popular CAD software includes AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, SketchUp, and MicroStation, helping professionals design and execute projects efficiently.


Is a tent a shell structure?

Well, honey, technically speaking, a tent is not considered a shell structure. Shell structures are typically solid, curved forms that derive their strength from their shape, like eggshells or domes. Tents, on the other hand, are more like fabric draped over a frame, so they fall more into the category of tensile structures. But hey, a tent is still a great place to camp out and tell ghost stories, so who really cares about the technicalities?
